SOURCE: how do I change my spark plugs on my 2002 toyota

On the V6 engine The drivers side plugs are easy although the passenger side will require you to remove the intake boot and the coil packs, easily done with a 10 mm socket and ratchet. Disconect the coil pack connectors by depressing the plastic clip and pulling them off one by one on the three coil packs . leave the plug wires attached and pull the coil pack straight up and off the spark plug.Blow out the area around the plug with compressed air to prevent debris from entering engine when the plugs are removed. Use a 5/8 spark plug socket and a 8 inch extension bar on your 3/8 ratchet at remove the plugs. use anti seize on the new plugs, gap the plugs to manufacturer specs and install your new plugs 2. If its a 4 cyl engine its actually a bit more difficult. The intake boot assembly has a bracket that bolts to the valve cover and side of the engine and you must remove it to access the 4 coil packs on top of the engine. once again the coil pack wires must be disconected and the coil packs un bolted and removed from the valve cover to access the plugs. Blow all dirt from around plug with compressed air to prevent foreign objects or dirt from entering the engine when you remove the spark plug , once again use a 3/8 ratchet and an extension with your 5/8 spark plug socket and remove plugs, use a small amount of anti seize compound on the threads of the nes plugs and gap them to manufacturer specs before installation. Also while the coil packs are off,, Inspect them for ARC Tracing a white residue and line may form on the coil pack Tip/boot if you see alot of ARC tracing Id suggest replacing that coil pack. Especially if you have a misfire condition.

I recently replaced the spark plugs on my 2001 toyota tacoma and now the engine idles high. no vacuum leaks, and nothing else was adjusted. could it be the spark plug gap?

NO ENGINE TOLD AT ALL OR VIN OR COUNTRY.
3 ENGINES USED. 2.4, 2.7 AND 3.4v6

FIRST OFF LEARN THIS FACT
THE MACHINES AT NGK SET ALL PLUGS TO
0.045" NEVER TO 0.45 ( i CAN THROW A HAT THROUGH THAT CRAZY WIDE GAP)
SURE YOU MISSED A KEY ZERO.
SURE.
AND EACH MAKER PLUG USES THERE OWN DEFAULT STANDARD MACHINE GAP . (FACTORY)
NOBODY MAKES A SPARK PLUG FRONT 100,000 ENGINES. NOBODY. THEY ARE BY HEAT RANGE AND SIZE.
THAT MEANS SET THE GAP TO OEM TOY SPEC.
NGK CATALOG ONLINE EVEN TELLS THAT SPEC.

IDLES HIGH COLD OR HOT ENGINE OR BOTH
NOT TOLD AND IS A KEY FACT NOT TOLD.
THE SPEC IS
IN THE SM

Adjust the spark plug electrode gap. Electrode gap for new spark plug is 1.0 to 1.1 mm (0.039 to 0.043 in.).
BEST IS 1MM SET, AND THAT LOWER SETTING
ALLOWS THE GAP TO WIDEN IT IT AGES AND RUN LONGER AND BETTER.

NO PLUGS TOLD
THE OEM TYPE CALLED J PLUGS ARE SET PER ABOVE
BUT SOME ODD DUCK BOSCH SURFACE FIRE
ARE FACTORY SET (BOSCH) AT 0.063 AND NOT ADJUSTABLE AT ALL
SO AS YOU LEARNED SPARK IS COMPLEX./
FOR SURE RUNNING ANY KIND OF ODD PLUGS.
SOLD NOW.

ID RUN

NGK 7090 G-Power; Pre-Set Gap: 0.040" Info
OE-Recommended Gap: 0.044"

How do I get access to the spark plugs in my 2002 Toyota Tacoma? There is a air flow tube over two of the spark plugs and I can't figure out how to remove it.

Replacing 2002 Tacoma PlugsIf you're talking about a 6 cylinder, then it's fairly straightforward. The driver side has normal-looking plug wires, the passenger side has the ignition coils covering the plugs. In either case, remove and label the wires from the plug side, unscrew and remove the ignition coils from the other side. Using a spark plug socket (this is important, the rubber ring in the socket will hold on to the plug, which is deep inside the head) unscrew the plug, make sure the new plugs are gapped and replace them. It is wise to use some rubber hose to start the new plugs so you don't cross thread. Then replace the plugs and ignition coils.
It's probably worth replacing the plug wires at the same time.
